Application filed February 21. 1920.

Be it known that I. HicxnY l). Na'rnnupm, a citizen of the l'nited States. residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new Combination- (iarments, of which the following is a speci tication.

This invention relates to garments. and is particularly adapted for use by sportsmen. when in the open, on hunting or fishing excursions or by anyone when exposed to the elements, varying tcm 'ieratures or atmospheric conditions.

It is the object of my invention to provide a. combination garment in the form of a coat comprising two elements. one of said elements being adapted to be. worn under certain conditions, the other of said elements being adapted to be worn under other conditions and both of said elements when combined to form a complete coat being adapted to be worn under still other conditions.

Other and more specific objects will appear in the following description. will he pointed out in the claim and will be embodied in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a perspective view of one member of the coat.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the other member of the coat.

In carrying out my invention. the under member 5 as shown in Fig. 1, comprises a body portion 6 adapted to surround and to cover the upper portion of the body, such as the top of the back, the shoulders and the chest. and is provided with suitable tastening means, such as the buttons 7 and button holes 8.

The member 11 which is also adapted to he worn separately. comprises an ordinary huntsmans or sportsmans coat bodv 12. which is sleeveless, but is provided with the arm holes 13 and suitable pockets 14. for the reception of game, ammunition or tackle. The body 12 is also provided with suitable fastening means. such as the buttons 15 and button holes 16. This member 11 is particularly adapted to be worn by itself, when it is desirable that the arms should be free while handling a gun or fishing rod. or under other conditions.

In Fig. 3 l have shown the two members of the combination coat as they would appear when being worn in unison. hen worn in this manner the coat will have the appearance of any onlinary sportsmans coat. but has characteristics and advantages such as an ordinary coat does not possess, it being adapted to furnish additional protection to the most sensitive parts of the body and still allowing a measurable degree of freedom to the active parts of the body.

By the above recited description of my invention it will be seen that I have provided a simple and ellicient garment suitable to be used in various ways by a sportsman, to furnish him ample protection under changeable weather conditions. and at the same time permit Freedom of action to the active members of the body.

ll'hat I claim is:

A combination garment. comprising a body portion adapted to cover only the chest. back, and sl'ioulders of a wearer, said body portion being provided with suitable sleeves, and a sleeveless coat provided with armholes adapted to be worn over said bod v portion.
